Fudu Buyisiwe

Fudu Buyisiwe (1962-16 June 1976) was a South African student leader who supported the African National Congress against the apartheid regime. In 1976, he took part in the Soweto Uprising, leading some students in protests against the introduction of Afrikaans as the medium of instruction in schools. Buyisiwe and other students chanted in their native languages and opposed the whites and their anti-black discrimination, and Buyisiwe was gunned down by police in the ensuing massacre of 176 students (some say as high as 700 people were killed).
